Bunch of liars, sold me a car saying the air con was working but it wasn't. Said they would fix it and made excuses for months as to why they couldn't. Looks like they've now gone put of business. God... See more

Car was an absolute state when we…

Car was an absolute state when we picked it up. Mouldy roof lining. Stunk of foist. Not valeted especially concerning due to covid. Sold our car we were part-exing, before we had even arrived. Drove the car home and found more faults. Rust, mould, alternator needing done, rips in leather everywhere, buttons missing, brakes very unresponsive despite telling the guy I was putting my three young children in it. The guy admitted he hadn’t even looked the car over before selling it to us and apologised. Returned the car and ended up without a car for weeks while waiting for finances to be cancelled and paid off. Spent £500 to be without a car. Writing this review to make people more wary about buying a car long distance as this was an absolute nightmare for me. Check everything twice and don't just blindly trust people to mention problems with cars like we did. We stupidly didn’t even test drive it. Also google the company on company’s house, and their other garage linked to them. Been taken to court etc. A little bit of digging made me so glad we got off lightly with this place.

Hi Kerry,

Could you confirm when you bought this vehicle from us please and which vehicle this is?
This review has obviously concerned us greatly and would love to get to the bottom of this.
I cant find your name on our system, was the vehicle purchased in someone else's name?
We would appreciate your response so we can deal with the matter immediately.

Kind Regards

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID THIS GARAGE

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID THIS GARAGE
Purchased a car 3 months ago, had a problem with it and they refused to repair it even though it was STILL under warranty. No customer care or morals, wouldn't even give it 1 star.
DO NOT TRUST OR BUY A CAR FROM THIS GARAGE AT ANY COST PLEASE

This company sold me a car and when I received it wasn’t as advertised. I returned the car on the 20/10/21. But I am still fighting for my refund. Which is £10850. Do not trust them or don’t buy their car if you have not physically seen them.
Alert Scam

Hello Olive,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on Trust-Pilot regarding our Dealership.

As per your visit to us on Saturday, you are fully aware that we are not "A Scam" as you put it.

Your money has been fully refunded. Unfortunately we cant help people not reading a description of a vehicle correctly and as we have demonstrated the vehicle was clearly advertised with having Parking Sensors, not a reversing camera and the colour of the car was fully visible in the pictures.
We are sorry the vehicle wasn't the correct shade of Blue that you were hoping for and that it didn't have a reversing camera appear on it prior to delivery
However we hope that you have now found a vehicle which suits your demands
It was a pleasure meeting you and your friends on Saturday when you visited us here at Kiteley Motors
Please feel free to pop in and see us for a tea or a coffee if you are ever passing

Kind Regards

All round awful experience! Avoid this garage

All round awful experience!! All I can say is appalling customer service and rude unprofessional behaviour.
Had to cancel a mini purchase as kiteley motors continued to provide excuses to why the car could not be delivered after agreeing to purchase the car 3 weeks earlier. They have not refunded the car finance!
My finance company are still chasing to cancel the finances but kiteley motors refuse to reply back.
Terrible car garage, avoid!!

Unfortunately we weren't willing to send the Mini out with a broken stereo as we know this would of upset you more. You were kept up to date with the progress of the Mini however you did want to cancel which we totally understood.
The finance has been paid back but this does take more than 2 days to be processed through our accounts department, especially when dealing with SubPrime lenders. You were made aware of this at the time of cancellation via email from myself

Hope you have now found a new car on finance that you are happy with

Kind Regards

Awful Customer Service

Awful Customer Service. Ive had problem with the car ever since I got it, was in and out of the the the garage they advise it goes to under warranty and problem never fixed. Was told they would look at car, so I arranged to get to the their garage and post the keys as I have a job and am now having to use public transport as I have no car. posted the keys through dealership letterbox and wake up to an email saying that they do no know why we dropped the car the car there and they were moving it to a public car park and we would incur the costs. After speaking to the garage that did the "repairs" we were informed that on the last time it was in the garage when we were made to believe they replaced another fuel injector that Kiteley instructed them to just use a fuel injector cleaner (even though they had the car 3 days), so hardly surprising that the problem continued to persist.

I believe that the problem was never resolved under warranty therefore the continued work that is now needed should still be covered. however now my emails are going unanswered.

Hi Sam,

As you are aware we did more than just put fuel injector cleaner through he vehicle. The VW Golf was running fine for 2 months, although you then went on to say " its never been right but i couldn't be bothered to get it sorted" had we been made aware that the issue was still present within the 3 months then we would of course of sorted this for you.
Even after you were swearing and got aggressive on the phone we stayed professional and tried to help. I did say to pop in and see me so we could discuss the issue however you felt you would leave your car in the middle of the car park out of hours and post the keys through my door.

You then went on to tell me it needed a new battery? The car started fine first time when it was here, and batteries wont be covered by us after 5 months of you owing a vehicle.

Highly recommend

Really easy process, love my new car! It was in such good condition. Staff were very friendly and helpful and didn’t feel like they were trying to sell the cars for a ridiculous price like many other places. Only downside was the service book wasn’t stamped after it had been done, but not a major problem. Definitely recommend.

With options from cars to bikes and vans. Great selection and I love the finance option. The ability to request a video of a car is brilliant! With collection and home delivery. Superb!

Used cars at affordable prices!

Excellent prices and service. The financing options are great too. Cars are good quality and seems like they take care to provide you with the best deal/car for what you need.

Beware of this company

I'm having to leave a separate review because Kitely really are one to watch out for. After leaving an honest review of the troubles I had with the car they sold me, they commented on it offering a £50 refund, to which I replied I would accept, but it's now been a week, I've emailed them twice and I've received no reply and no refund. Definitely do not use this car company, they seem to be all talk.

Hi Penny, we wont be paying you £50 after you stated we would need to pay you money in order to remove any reviews you post, thanks for your original review and this one. We have responded to both. Its such a shame that sometimes our nice cars go to the wrong people, the Volvo could have gone to a lovely little family who wanted it and would have appreciated it and us a lot more than you do.
